With the Donkey Creek Restoration and Transportation Improvement Project to begin in March, city officials are encouraging people to turn out for an open house from 4 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 20, at the Harbor History Museum, 4121 Harborview Drive.
The open house will provide an opportunity to learn more about the project and ask questions, discuss the project phases and have an opportunity to meet the representatives from the city’s contractor, MidMountain Contractors.
The Donkey Creek project will restore Donkey Creek between the Harbor and Donkey Creek Park, provide widened sidewalks and a new pedestrian trail, and improve traffic flow along Harborview Drive, North Harborview Drive and Austin Street.
Funding for the project is provided by a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Grant, a U.S. Housing and Urban Development Neighborhood Initiative Grant and city funds.
Durnig the course of construction, the public can expect significant traffic control, potential rough road conditions and traffic delays. Pedestrian detours will be in place and may impact walking routes.
“Donkey Creek is going to have a big impact on traffic,” Mayor Chuck Hunter said, advising those who live and work in the area to come to the open house.
The project website www.DonkeyCreekRestoration.com has routine updates and notices regarding the project.
